The Devil's Nest, Saturday, April 12th

"No." Bo crossed her arms behind the bar and ignored the balloon Tiny was holding out to her. "I already told you my terms. The whole thing or no deal."

Tiny held up his phone in the other hand, then made a show of putting it away. Bo just shook her head.

"No. I don't care if you record me. I'm just not doing it without the quid pro quo." She reached out and bopped the balloon lightly. "Every. Single. Verse."

Which was why anyone visiting the bar tonight, including the guests at Warren and Karla's birthday party, would find themselves treated to a high-pitched -- and very long -- performance of I Am The Very Model Of A Modern Major-General from the huge guy in the leather vest.

Bo's performance, they'd have to be very good at searching YouTube (or know Tiny's username) to find, and also fast enough to get there before Bo filed the fake DMCA takedown notice. Or the obscenity one. She was still trying to decide which seemed more likely coming from Disney.

[Open! Karla and Warren's birthday party be happenin' in the VIP area; the rest of the joint is open to anyone.]

"Hmmm...I'd never thought of it that way before," Karla mused, her mischievous expression suggesting she was giving a lot of thought to it now. "You know, Dr. Lecter, I'm starting to think that you might be a bad influence on me."

Moments like these, she could see how Audric had been possible.

"Perish the thought!" Hannibal's expression was pure shocked innocence, but there was a glint in his eyes. "I'm merely suggesting a healthy coping mechanism for the dull necessities of your position."

His other main coping mechanism was pondering how he could best kill someone and what food they would make, but he wasn't about to suggest that one in a bar full of people.

Karla, at least, tried not to think about how best to kill her courtiers. But sometimes it was so hard because there were so many ways. Especially for an Ebgon-gray Jeweled Black Widow/Healer.

It just wasn't even fair sometimes.

"Sometime, I'm going to have to kidnap you away to Glacia so you can see what I have to put up with. I'd love to see what kind of creative 'healthy coping mechanisms' you came up with then."

And until then, Karla had drinking. Whee!

Hannibal could think of so many fun ways even with his unpowered abilities; think of all the fun you could have together, Karla!

"I would be honored," Hannibal answered with a bow and a delighted smile. Admit it, he would be wonderful at court functions.

That's because Hannibal was a bad, bad man. Which was, of course, why he was so damned fun.

"Keep saying that and you'll end up with a formal notice in the mail," Karla threatened. "It'll look like an invitation and read like a summons. Doctor Lecter," she continued, invoking all her aristo snobbery, "the honor of your presence is requested to keep Queen Karla of Glacia amused at her next function, likely a brief appearance at the behest of some lackwit that still had too much social pull to be snubbed appropriately."

Oh, that would be fun. Hannibal loved pulling people's social pull out from under them. "I'll make sure you have my address," he answered, still smiling.
